Talking trash to Michael Jordan is not a wise decision. Just ask New Orleans Pelicans’ head coach Alvin Gentry, who saw first hand what happens when you poke the pit bull.
Gentry was a Miami Heat assistant coach in 1992 when one of his players, basketball mortal Steve Smith, decided it was a good time to trash talk the Gods.
Jordan, one of the most competitive humans to ever live, was not about to let this slide.
He went off on the Heat, scoring 46 en route to a three-game sweep of the beleaguered Heat, who learned a valuable lesson about what happens when you anger a legend.
